Cleanin' This Gun

Cleanin' This Gun - Rodney Atkins

The declaration of independence
Think I could tell ya that first sentence
But then I'm lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I got pounded in my head that I forgot
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget

Come on in boy
Sit on down and tell me bout yourself
Well ya like my daughter do ya now
Yeah we think she's somethin' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her mama's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Ain't it son
Now y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see ya when ya get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Well now that I'm a father
I'm scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be that seems to have just one thing on his mind
Well she's growin' up so fast
It won't be long before
I'll have to put the fear of God
Into some kid at the door

Yeah come on in boy
Sit on down and tell me bout yourself
So ya like my daughter do ya now
Yeah we think she's somethin' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her mama's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Now ain't it son
Now y'all run along
And have a little fun
I'll see ya when ya get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Now it's all for show
Ain't nobody gonna get hurt
It's just a daddy thing
But believe me
It works

Come on in boy
Sit on down and tell me bout yourself
So ya like my daughter do ya now
Well we think she's somethin' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her mama's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Now ain't it son
Now y'all run along
And have some fun
I'll see ya when ya get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Now y'all buckle up
Drive safe
Have her back around ten- nine thirty
Have fun
